[Intro]
Rxwntree
[Chorus]
Ay yo, I'm outside, are you inside?
Everybody bad until the maddest man died
I ain't ever going down without putting up a fight
Yo, it's "fuck you" for life if you're with the other side (Ooh-ooh)
Would you ride, would you ride?
Mm, it's hard to decide
If your nigga's real or fake, I'm watchin' from the eye
Fuck what they say, I still do what I desire (Desire)
[Verse 1]
Ay, fuck the opps, they get smoked like blunts
I gave mum 11-racks and told her "go buy lunch"
Bro got rich of rock, we want the sticks and guap
I'll link you later, babe, I gotta do some bits and bobs
I wanna fuck her, but fuck her, shе pissed man off
I get touchy if a don tries to touch my don
Wе get lit in the rave
He got feisty, I had to dash a glass in his face
I didn't feel bad, I even had to laugh in his face
Ay, bro, who are these dons?
I can't believe bruddas still buy Loubitons
I bought some property, even got space for a refugee
Ay, remember that time we ran from the TSG?
I don't want no scrubs like TLC
You see the way we came, it was B-I-G
I don't trust no hoe, you know it's M-O-B
But the gyal get wet when they see IG
[Chorus]
Ay yo, I'm outside, are you inside?
Everybody bad until the maddest man died
I ain't ever going down without putting up a fight
Yo, it's "fuck you" for life if you're with the other side (Ooh-ooh)
Would you ride, would you ride?
Mm, it's hard to decide
If your nigga's real or fake, I'm watchin' from the eye
Fuck what they say, I still do what I desire (Desire)
[Verse 2]
I'll still do what I want, if I wanna let it ring
I said "bro, I got a thought" and started rubbing on my chin
Ay, come we cop a scorch and go pepper everything
I drinking on some gin while I'm chatting to my jinns
I keep seeing them
Most my enemies are black, what's BLM?
Snakes dem hissing, dem funds insufficient
These bruddas don't listen
I have to show my bad side, sometimes I go missing, I get that from my dads side
Long time I've seen dad, tell me why you ain't 'round?
Yo where you been, pops, you come like you ain't proud
'Nuff times man tried us and got laid out
Do your research, nigga, welcome to the playground
Jugga got 12 'cause he stuck up a jeweller
Belly got time 'cause they caught him with a ruler
Free Blade and Free DK, the real shooter
We ain't into all the ooh-ah, yo, I'm in the hooper
[Chorus]
Ay yo, I'm outside, are you inside?
Everybody bad until the maddest man died
I ain't ever going down without putting up a fight
Yo, it's "fuck you" for life if you're with the other side (Ooh-ooh)
Would you ride, would you ride?
Mm, it's hard to decide
If your nigga's real or fake, I'm watchin' from the eye
Fuck what they say, I still do what I desire (Desire)

Ride was produced by Rxwntree.
This is the song that kicked this off. I thought I had finished the tape when I made this, but I wanted something to add on—and it’s now one of my favourite tracks, and became the first single. The day I recorded this, I was driving up to Reading with the song on repeat, the whole way!
